FOR THE AXLES.
Castor oil is an excellent lubricator
for aXles, but used alone may gum too
much This is corrected by the addi-
ton of refined coal-oil (that used for
lamps), or lard; the coal-oil is the
better. Some wagons are Yet made
unprOyided with metal shields or'.thim-
bles, being banded with steel; for these
some tallow may be used, as it is one of
the best of lubricants when iron and
wood are brought together Pine tar
is a good addition to the lubricant for
wagon aXles, and is part of most of
the ''aXle greaSes" sold. Plumbago is
another good addition; its fine particles
till the small irregularities in the OPP
posing surfaces. thus making them
smoother. \ mixture oflard and plum
bago is good for the journals of reapers,
mowers, etc. For carriages nothing is
better than castor oil and very little
lard-oil or refined coal-oi.
LOOK OUT FOR THE WELLS.
BY carefully studying the matter it
Is found that in nine cases out of ten
typhoid feyers originate in families
whose water supply is from well, into
which impure water comes. This may
be from the farmyard. and quite gem
orally such is the case. For some wears
the water in a well near the house NAV
be pure and wholesome, but by-and-by
the soil between it and the BARNARD
will become so impregnated with pol
luton that an unhealthy quality will be
impaired to it. and disease will result
from its use. This is almost sure to
be the case when the distance between
the two is not great. because as a gem
eral thing, the bottom of the well is
lower than the yard, and the drain
age from the latter win extend in all
directions through the most porOu
strata of soil, and when ii reaches
the well it viii naturally flow into it as
a reservoir. No matter how pure the
water may have been when the well
was first dug, sooner or later it will be
contaminated by water flowing through
the soil from barnyards and cess-pools
located anywhere near it. When max
ing a well have it, if possible, above
the barnyard, and let the drainage be
from it rather than into it. Arrange
4 place for slops with a cement bottom
and sides, from which glazed pipes,
cemented together, allow the unhealthy
matter 10 low off and away from the
place.

withstood. Instead of leaving work for
his subordinates, he tried to use his AL
bany methods; he tried to do too much.
Very naturally he broke down and this is
the end. He has had his warning, and
his friends, medical and social, are wise
enough to press upon him the absolute
necessity Of perfect rest, mental and
physical. 1t is the impression here, that
as President of the New York bank, the
greater part of his labor will be in draw
ing his salary. His name is what is
wanted.
The home life of Mr.. Manning since he
has resided st the capital has not been
more quiet than it was in Albany. He
lives on Eighteenth street, in one of the
largest and most expensive of the private
residences constructed in accordance
with the modern architectural ideas of
the city. To reach it from the capitol
or the White House, you have to go
through the most fashionable and beauti-
Jul section OF the capital,
but beyond you do not come to
many fine residences, for it may be
said TO be in the SUBURBS. 1t stands

in an irregular, thoroughly artistic way,
AID viewed from distance its turrets
and towers give it the appearance of a
modern castle. This effect is heightened
by festoOns of Virginia creeper which, in
summer, hang about the many porches
and gables of the man sion.
The interior Of the house, however, does
not compare favorably in appearance with
the exterior. 1t is furnished in a style
that one would expect from q well-to-dO
merchant VINO had retired with means
enough to live comfortably the remainder
of his life. On the right Of the broad
hallway are the reception rooms, and
opposite is the library and study. In
this latter the Secretary, when he first
came to Washington, spent most of his
time while at home, but he now rarely
sits at his accustomed desk, accept to
attend to his private correspondence.
Never a great society man, he now seldom
goes out in the evenings. spending most
of them with his family at home. But
they are not always there. The condition
of the Secretary is so much better than it
was when he first got sick that Mrs.
Manning feels disposed to resume her
place at the head of the married ladies of
the Presidents household. Mrs. Man
ming Is one Of the most popular ladies IN
Washington. She is the Secretary's
second wife, and was formerly MISS
Margaretta Fryer, the daughter of Will
liam j. Fryer, retired merchant of AL
bany. The marriage took place in No.
vember, 1884, Immediately after the
announcement of the successful issue of
the Presidential campaign.
The first wife of Mr.. Manning was Miss
Mary Little, charming lady of English
parentage. She died in 1882, leaving two
sons and two daughters, The eldest
daughter, Anna, is married and resides in
Albany. Miss Mary, young lady of
nineteen, was one of three debutante5 of

Office. Every morning about II O'Clock
the closed carriage, IN which he invari-
ably rides to his office, is driven to the
door and the Secretary slowly descends
and is helped up the broad stone stair
way. Almost every morning Mrs. Man
ming accom- anies her husband to the office
and frequently calls by the department
for him. ABOUT 3 O'clock, after four
hours at his desk, the Secretary again
climbs slowly into his carriage and is
driven home, which he now rarely leaves
until he comes back to his desk next
morning.
When Mr.. Manning resigns, if he in
tends to do so, perhaps the most notable
figure in the Cabinet VIII disappear from
public life. He has occupied the three
trying positions Of journalist, politician
and tiaancier, and IN each end every one
OF them he has been an eminent success.
All his life he has been man of affairs, q
man of the present, and be accumulated
a fortune by the methods that distinguish
the age. He is g self made man; he has
always been q hard worker, and he had
Just earned the repose of the home ne
ned made for himself when he was called
upon by the President to take, perhaps,
the most inp Ortant position in his gift.
Mr.. Manning was!bOrn in 1881, and is,
therefore, nearly tifty-SiX years of age.
He is native of Albany, n. Y, where he
has always lived until he came to the
Capital, and he is descended from some
of that sturdy Irish English stock which
hes given America many OF her most dis
tinguished politicians and business men.
Both in the habits of his body and mind
he combines the characteristics of energy
and persstency of his pioneer ancestry.
He did not have the questionable advan-
tages of collegiate education, but what
he missed in schooling he made up by OBJ
ssTvation and experience in the valious
walks of life which he has ornamented.
When but eleven years old he began life
as ''printer's devil" in the office of the
Albany Atlas, which paper was
soon merged INTO the present Argus

DuyaI County Gins Her First Balls
Cotton.-In Need of Rain.


Correspondence of the Gazette.
SAN DIEGO, Ten, Feb. I've have
started a fine cotton gin, which was
purchased by Mr.. Frank Gueydan, the
head of our largest and most responsible
mercantile house, and is attached to and
run by the same power that runs the
steam grist mill of Mr.. H. W. Parkman.
The first bale of cotton that has ever been
ginned and baled for market in Duval
county, is on exhibition. 1t is good mid
ding. 1t was cleanly ginned and we'll
packed. This may be called the pioneer
bale. There will soon be many more pre-
pared for shipment in our sylvan burg,
and our county will show in time that
agriculture, as well as grazing are
amongst its attributes. Mr.. Paul
Henry, and Messrs. f. Gueydan, Fabian
Fabela, and few other San DIegoites
deserve great credit for starting and
encouraging the cotton growing in DuvaI
county, which they did last year at some
cost and trouble, buying the best seed
they could and distributing it gratuitously
the farmers. 1t is tC be hoped
thst their philanthropic efforts will be
with success.
We have had for the last two or three
days some cold and rather unpleasant
but would gladly stand more
OF it if we could get rain, which We are
sadly in need OF. We have had remark
ably open and pleasant winter, and the
range all through this county is line,
though very dry.

erected, and their trade is increasing.

ming thriYed on printers ink, and year

he acquired the executive proprietorShip,
which he now holds. The management,
however, has for some years been IN the
hands of his eldest son, John Hilton
Manning, who bids fair to follow in the
footsteps of his illustrious father
But i. was not only as a journalist and
newspaper proprietor that Mr.. Manning
gained distinction and wealth. He is the
politician of the Cabinet and was reared
in that Albany school of politics from
which graduated some of the shrewdest
OF New Gork's public men. He repre-
scented his district in the Legislature and
there built up his influence in state party
affairs He was instrumental in the nom
nation of Samuel j. Tilden to the gov
ernship in 1874, and was 8 men,
Der of every Democratic state con-
vention down to the nomination
of Grover Cleveland as Governor of
New York. From 1880 to 1884 he was
chairman of the state committee, and was
in the convention which nominated Til
den in 1876, Hancock in 1880, and Cleve-
land in 1884. He conducted the Cleve-
land campaign in New York, and in the
control of state politics he succeeded
Samuel j. Tilden as the leader of the
leaders.
Until his prot1acted illness MIR. Man
ming had very little of what might be
called home life. When he r. sized in
Albany he spent his DAYS between the
presidents desk ufsthe Commercial Bank
and the Office Of his newspaper, and even
when he had climbed the hill to his
pleasant residence on Washington ave-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-It is said upon
the best authority that there is no longer
any doubt about Mr. Manning's intention
to resign the Treasury portfolio immedi-
ately after the adjournment of Congress,
or as soon as the duties of his Office will
permit. Despite what has been said to
the contrary there is not the slightest
doubt in my mind that the Secretary is
still very sick man. He has never fully
recovered from the paralytic stroke of
last summer, and he shows it plainly in
his painful, hating gait and the dull,
leaden pallor Of his complexion. My
